Lateritic soil types of India are rendered infertile by the presence of excess iron. Laterite soils are those soils that are found in areas which receive high rainfall and have a very high temperature. This results in less humus content in the soil. Also, they have an excess amount of iron in them. Hence, they are not fertile soil and are not suitable for cultivation.
